Balushahi is traditional indian sweet prepared during diwali and holi . Balushahi is delicious, flaky, crisp from outside and melt in mouth within .
It is easy to prepare , bit time consuming but totally worth trying. I made almost 60 balushahis and they were vanished in a time span of two days .... They are irresistable .... Believe me!!!!
